I just wanted to thank you Andy for posting these tutorials. I was looking for this information since soon after the release of BVC5. With what I learned from your tutorial, I successfully created a new offer which is essentially a volume discount that can have its quantity quota met through the ordering of different products. Again thank you so much for this information.

I used this tutorial to create my own custom offer which worked with the 1st version of BVC5. I had problems with the offer when I upgraded to SP1 and now an even worse problem with SP2. Any time I use the save button in the edit interface of the offer I receive this error:
<H2>Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: type </H2>
[color=#ffffcc>
[tr ][td ]<CODE>
Line]Line 67: GetFormValues(offer)
Line 68: If offer.Commit() Then
[/color]Line 69: OfferEditor.Save()
Line 70: Response.Redirect("~/BVAdmin/Marketing/default.aspx")</PRE>[/code][/td][/tr]</TABLE>
<FONT face=Verdana>Source File: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\HCC_ShoppingCart\BVAdmin\Marketing\OffersEdit.aspx.vb Line: 68
I also receive this error with the sample offer that Andy creates in this tutorial. Any insight into this problem is much appreciated.</FONT>

I realize that this is a very old thread...
The links in the original post are not to the actual content.
I need to understand how to use the "workflows" area of BVC2013. Any help would be great.
BTW - Documentation of features would be so nice instead of assuming that everyone knows what things do :-)

Workflows give you some control over the business process from the admin. I say "some control" because you are limited to the workflows and available workflow steps that exist. One word of caution is that it is possible to mess things up by editing workflows (e.g. removing the workflow step that processes credit cards would not be a good idea). However, a developer is free to create new workflows and invoke them where needed in the application. A developer can also create new workflow steps. From a best-practice standpoint it's preferable to create a new workflow step rather than editing an existing one since due to the ease of implementing a new workflow step. If you're a developer I can go into more detail.

Thanks, Aaron!! Quote:If you're a developer I can go into more detail. I can't claim to be a 'real' developer ;-) but, I am developing our sites (I wear alot of hats). On the documentation... I completely understand, and once I know the answer... i won't need the docs ;-)
